What did you do to your truck today? (1 Viewer)

[RSHARPfzj80]

Thanks guys. I'm happy with it. Looks much better than the 36" swampers or the 255's.

Looks like a different truck. Looks killer.

Lots of hours stripping the tub and sanding. My trusty power drill gave up the ghost. But the tub looks good. Got most of it sealed.

Got the belly as clean as I could get it and painted where the tank will be. Plan to finish painting the frame tonight. May start installing the tank tonight if I have time. If not tonight, tomorrow. Have two more nights to myself before the fam returns. Gotta get as much done as possible.

What did you paint it with? Besides paint of course

Rustoleum Rust Reformer

Finished painting the rear half of the frame. Cut and glued some cushion for the tank on the skid. Bolted on a couple of brackets for the tank and a couple of fuel lines.

 

[Goode]

Cushioning cut and adhered to top of tank. Pickup and sending unit installed. Tank installed and mostly plumbed. Need to install filler neck and hose. And pickup a few more hose clamps for the EVAP hoses. Plan to get it running before I put the rear-end back under it. Just in case... I'm not taking any chances.

And despite my impatience, the dirty wire loom sticks out like a sore thumb. I'll be cleaning that up promptly.

Looks great Andy, when did you say you wanted to start on mine?

 

[mwalls54]

Rolled up my change for the year and picked up some shocks

 

[Goode]

Wrestled the filler hose and neck on today. Finished plumbing everything on the tank and got it all buttoned up. Time to start working under the hood for a bit....plumbing, fuel pump, carb.

 

[Goode]

Old tank... With a little added dirt from garden waste. It was filthy inside and out.

Lemme know if you need a rebuild kit on that emergency brake. I've got one from TPI. Not sure what I paid but forgotten I'd bought one a few years back.

Getting ready to do yet another patch panel repair. Trying to get ready for the 26th of this month. Gonna spray the 60 with sealer and have it all in one color.

Sounds good Vic. I'm sure I can use it.

 

[Goode]

Confirmed my spare fuel pump is good. Got the 40 running for a few mins last night off a gas can. Pickup fuel filter today then connect pump to tank and fill her up. Need to pull carb apart and clean again just to be sure. Should be ready to start rear suspension install this weekend.

Installed front ARB, knuckle kit,getting rotors turned,new calipers and pads, removed dust shields.

 

[SliderJack]

Been working on bodywork. Put up the canopy and sprayed primer. Turned out alright. Today I'm

wet sanding.
